Record 2 2012-02-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Intaglio Printing
DEF

Domaine(s)
  • Impression en creux (héliogravure)
DEF

Procédé d'impression utilisant une forme d'impression en creux qui, une fois enduite d'encre, puis essuyée, est pressée contre une feuille de papier qui reçoit l'encre des creux.

OBS

Il existe deux types d'impression en creux, l'impression en taille-douce (à partir de formes fabriquées à la main) et l'héliogravure (l'application industrielle de l'impression en creux). Puisque l'héliogravure est le cas type de l'impression en creux, les deux termes sont souvent utilisés interchangeablement.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Impresión intaglio
DEF

Impresión directa en alto relieve sensible al tacto.

CONT

Los billetes euro desteñían o, mejor dicho, perdían color si se frotaban con una hoja de papel blanco. El problema en realidad no era tal. Simplemente se trataba de una consecuencia lógica de la impresión calcográfica en relieve (intaglio) que reciben en su anverso, que hace que dejen una marca de color al ser frotados.
